It would be good to take care of some details such as:- Sometimes it takes a long time to upload large files, and when you leave the MEGA page, you have to restart the process again.
Pros
MEGA It is really the perfect solution for cloud storage, excellent integration with other programs and websites, and it supports all operating systems with a high level of security.
Cons
It is difficult to mention all the features of MEGA, but some of its most important features, for example:- You can take advantage of the storage space, this allows you to try the program before the purchase process.- You can play audio and video without having to download data, this great feature saves a lot of time.- a suitable price.

Cloud storage with MEGA
Reviewed on 27/10/2021
Pros
MEGA works well as a cloud service and file-sharing program. It offers a large amount of free storage space for those that sign up for an account with them. If a video file is saved here, it has a streaming media player that can watch and play a video without first downloading it.
Cons
I'm not too fond of the fact that the data are initially stored on the cloud storage throughout the downloading process rather than immediately on my computer's local storage. I can only download the files into my computer's local storage after the file transmission is complete. Additionally, users must set up an account with MEGA before downloading anything.

I m using Mega for University; my colleagues decided ti apply and share files running by that channel. Definitely it s difficult to use, don t forget your password, have to pay for space and the last but not the list..in Italy is not legal to share university files on it! So tale care!
Pros
Ok, this is a real useful software, but it needs urgently to be adjusted. Absolutely difficult signing up. You can do it by yourself and in that case ok, sounds good. But if you need to ente e into a group for view files, you need an invitation. If you get it, you have only one chance to log in, i entered up and made e mistake , so i needed a new invitation. No way. If you clear a file or an address, you ll never adjuste it, no more view for you!
Cons
I only like the idea, but it a difficult to use, you pay for adesso space and the most important thing, is if you forget your password, you’ll not have a view to get it back. You lost simply your channel, and that’s it!!!!

MEGA is quite fast in downloading files, and can resume the download process is there are interruption on the internet connection. There are some feature that i don't like, but still it is a good software.
Pros
MEGA as a cloud storage and file sharing software is pretty good. It has a large free storage for a free account that are registered with theme. If a video files are stored in here, it has a video media player than can stream and play the video without having to download the file first.
Cons
I don't like that in the downloading process, it will store the files on the cloud storage first and not directly on my computer local storage. Only after the files transfer is complete, i can download it into my computer local storage. User also need to have an account with MEGA first before they can download the files.

Free cloud storage for business use solution for storing and accessing important data
Reviewed on 06/02/2023
Pros
The standout feature of Mega is its user-friendly File Manager. Its interface is simple and easy to navigate, with a convenient Drag and Drop function. Unlike other cloud storage services, Mega's interface resembles a traditional operating system's file management system, making it accessible even for non-technical users. Another benefit is the generous amount of free storage, with new users receiving 20-50 GB.
Cons
Two downsides to Mega are its file transfer speed and security. Compared to services like Mediafire, Nextcloud, Dropbox, and pCloud, Mega's file transfer speed is average. Additionally, I've experienced security issues with Mega, having had two of my accounts hacked and all my data compromised. When I reached out to the technical team for assistance, they were unhelpful. Another limitation is that the desktop version of Mega does not support file downloads with IDM, unlike several other alternatives.

Best for storing media type file
Reviewed on 19/10/2021
Pros
I have use MEGA to share and store media type files, like video and audio, as they has an embedded player than can stream the media directly from the software without me having to download the file before playing it. They have a free account that has decent amount of free storage that user can use it freely.
Cons
Downloading the files from the web browser version of the software is not effective at all. I need to stay on the MEGA webpage on the download process, and if i change to the other tab, the download process will be halt and worst, i had to start the download process from the beginning.

Overall, I'm delighted with MRGA. I love the well-polished interface, ease of use, speed, and ability to share with others. It's more than just cloud storage, as I'm just beginning to realize.
Pros
I love the ability to designate some files as favorites and that is a sort function so I can quickly find what I'm looking for. I'll be pursuing how to chat with potential clients in a secure, encrypted fashion and meetings of up to 100 people to whom I can sell my services.

I'm using Mega together with two more cloud services to be sure I have a back-up copy of my files in more places, so that they don't get lost. It works seamlessly together with other similar applications without conflicts.
Pros
Having 50 Gb of free space, which gives you the opportunity to try it for a long time with a huge amount of files before deciding to buy it. Moreover I especially like the fact I can pause the upload process of each single file, thus deciding which one is uploaded first.
Cons
The upload process for a file sometimes fails when it's almost completed and it starts over again. But you can prevent it from happening by pausing the upload of other files.

The best cloud backup software
Reviewed on 10/07/2022
Pros
MEGA is extremely easy to setup and does not pester you with notifications whenever file sync fails. Whenever such problems arise, it works them out on its own. After years of using it, I have only seen notifications from it whenever my storage was nearing its limit, which unfortunately cannot be said of other popular cloud backup software around
Cons
My only issue with MEGA was that the Manjaro version was a bit buggy compared to the Windows or Ubuntu ones. Despite that, it's quite perfect

despite all the challenges faced, Mega helps me to share some important files with my relations- it's an awesome cloud storage solution.
Pros
Mega is a great alternative for cloud files storing. It's easily accessible and simple to use.It offers nice pricing options with variable feature comparisons. I'm satisfied working with the free plan cuz it gives me enough space to share some public files.But I also think the paid plans offer extra privileges like additional storage, password link protection, analytics, content recovery, and more which is great for businesses looking for advanced cloud storage solutions.
Cons
There are two things that I find inappropriate with Mega. First, the file transfer speed is mediocre compared to Mediafire, Nextcloud, Dropbox, and pCloud.Secondly, the security level is not too good. I had two of my accounts hacked and all my data were compromised as well. This kept me frustrated and after reaching out to the technical team, they didn't do anything to help me.I also discovered that mega (desktop version) doesn't support file downloads with IDM meanwhile several other alternatives do.

Overall, the experience with MEGA has been great so far with just a little spanner that they don't have smaller plans to cater to an individual's requirements who doesn't need 400GB of space. Also, the transfer caps is something that only MEGA has and no other vendor is having that.
Pros
Ease of UI and really simple UI and UX besides getting a 50GB free space.
Cons
Pricing - that's a pain point. Google One is offering 200GB worth of space at just about USD28 per year whereas the minimum Mega plan is with 400GB of space at USD68 per year.

Since MEGA came out with a new service, I was able to share files with my friends in a more secure way. I was able to try it out for free, which is a plus!
Pros
MEGA is a simple and secure way to access files anywhere in the world. MEGA encrypts files both in transit and at rest, and is one of the few cloud storage services to do so. They offer 50GB of storage for free. You can also upgrade to higher storage options.
Cons
when you want to recover a large file, you have to use the software or the mobile app, even if you are connected to another computer than yours. Why not let the user choose to continue with the web browser
